municipalities. The population density was 55 people per square kilometre,

natural increase per 1,000 population in the municipality was positive. It was
4.9 (in Slovenia 0.4). The number of people who

the municipality, so net migration per 1,000 population in the municipality was

Slovenia as a whole. Data by sex show that the ageing index for women was in
all Slovene municipalities higher than the ageing index for men. In Makole – as
